@Russell Brazil  thanks for the insight on Takoma and PG, and for bringing up the issue of rent control.

Thanks for the quick response @Russell Brazil.

@Russell Brazil why do you think plan A is not feasible?

Hi @Nilofer Sickander,Three things to consider:1) Like @Russell Brazil said, mortgage inquiries are not treated the same as credit inquiries. 10 credit card pulls a month = credit applicant on downward spiral = high risk = FICO dump.

We've had to hire persons just for this task at times.However in Bridgeport, CT as in a few other states as I would imagine, there are laws governing who can show a property and whether that person needs a real estate license or not.If you can crack that nut within the law limits there is a market.

Thanks @Russell Brazil I'll give em a call and see what we can do.

Quote from @Russell Brazil: Quote from @Edwin De leon: You as an investor ...What interview questions would u ask a real estate agent to determine if you want to work with them  and make part of your team, you want someone that will not be telling you here is nice countertop which is of no value  to u as investor ...... you only want to hear  things of value investors want to hear about on any rental property u are considering and not trivial things like here is a nice SEPEARATE door entry for your pet 😀  Why do you feel like the material used in the countertop is not important? 

@Shashank Mittal I'll be attending @Russell Brazil and @Kevin Leahy 's event in DC on the 8th. 

Pretty nuts.

In Tennessee (I'm a TN-licensed lawyer -- in Chattanooga, actually), when a life estate (as @Russell Brazil aptly noted) is granted via deed or will to a descendant, that individual has the right to occupy the property until he or she dies.
